\"The Galactic Positioning Sensor is a small, inexpensive device used for navigation. It uses a complex triangulation algorithm to identify the signatures of known objects, such as stars, satellites, and planets which are identified by their unique radiation signatures to calculate the location of the device. Dependent on the parameters inputted by the user, it can identify the sector of the galaxy, system, planet, and specific location on the planet to within one hundred meters.\"

\"The sub-space radio was made possible by the development of crystal technology more than 4000 years ago. While it does not transmit signals from system to system, as a Holocom would, and is more cumbersome than the short-range comlink, the sub-space radio enables nearly instant communication within a single system to a range of approximately 175 AU.\"
